How many times more carbon is in the oceans than in the atmosphere?
The oceans contain about 50 times more carbon dioxide (CO2) than the atmosphere and 19 times more than the land biosphere.
How is carbon dioxide fixed in the atmosphere?
It is not fixed in the atmosphere. It moves as part of the carbon cycle in and out of the oceans, the atmosphere and the land.
What 2 processes that cause carbon to move out of the atmosphere?
photosynthesis: plants take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and use it to build carbohydrates.dissolving: carbon dioxide dissolves in rainwater and oceans.
When the atmosphere has too much carbon dioxide in it and the oceans absorb some of it to achieve a new balance This is an example of what?
This is an example of the carbon cycle, where carbon moves between the atmosphere, oceans, land, and living organisms. When the atmosphere has an excess of carbon dioxide, oceans act as a carbon sink by absorbing some of it, helping to regulate the balance of carbon in the environment. This process is important for maintaining Earth's climate and overall carbon balance.
How does carbon move from plants and animals into the atmosphere?
Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
What gas in the atmosphere was absorbed by the oceans as they formed?
The ocean water absorbed much of the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Where does carbon dioxide go after it is released into the atmosphere?
After carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, it can be absorbed by plants through photosynthesis, dissolved in the oceans, or remain in the atmosphere contributing to the greenhouse effect.
How does water enter the water cycle?
Carbon moves from the atmosphere to the oceans.The oceans, and other bodies of water, soak up some carbon from the atmosphere.
How are th oceans involved in the carbon cycle?
The oceans act as carbon sinks when there is too much co2 in the atmosphere but that leads to the oceans being more acidic and it may kill marine life
What is an example for when the atmosphere carbon to the hydrosphere?
An example of carbon moving from the atmosphere to the hydrosphere is when carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere dissolves into the oceans. This process, known as carbon sequestration, helps regulate the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere and directly impacts the ocean's acidity levels.
Is The atmosphere stores much more carbon dioxide than the oceans?
False.
What role does the combustion of fossil fuels have in the carbon cycle?
The combustion of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming. This disrupts the balance of the carbon cycle by adding more carbon dioxide than natural systems can absorb, leading to increased levels of carbon in the atmosphere and oceans.
